Horizontal Tree Grows From Desert Wall Under Noon Sun

by Roman Caldwell

Midsummer sunlight reflects off a shallow water trough, casting a shimmering, distorted glare across the white stucco wall of a high desert observatory. A fully leafed green tree grows horizontally from the flat masonry, its branches extending straight out like a shelf before curling upward. The Pleiades cluster hangs in the pale blue sky above, visible despite the harsh noon glare. Wind whips the leaves into a blurred motion against the rigid geometry of the dome's open hatch. Dry gravel covers the ground near a weather balloon launch rig. The tree's bark shows rough texture, while the water surface ripples with heat haze. One shadow falls sharply beneath the horizontal branches.
